Los Angeles: The wildfires have been wreaking havoc, and it’s heartbreaking to see so many celebrities lose their homes. Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal are just a couple of the stars affected.
Firefighters are working around the clock to control the Palisades fire, which has already burned nearly 16,000 acres. Sadly, at least five lives have been lost, and the situation is dire.
With a state of emergency declared, around 70,000 people have had to evacuate. Thick smoke and ash are filling the air, and a new fire has even popped up in the Hollywood Hills, threatening popular spots like the Walk of Fame.
Paris shared her heartbreak on Instagram, saying she watched her Malibu home burn on live TV. She reflected on the memories made there with her kids, expressing gratitude that her family is safe.

They shared their sorrow, saying it’s hard to describe the devastation they’re experiencing. But they’re holding onto the love from their family and friends to get through it.
Other celebs like Diane Warren and Mandy Moore have also shared their struggles. Mandy expressed disbelief over the destruction, noting that her children’s school and favorite restaurants are gone.
Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis is relieved her home is safe but is mourning the loss of her neighborhood. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag documented their home burning on social media, feeling grateful they got out in time.
Governor Gavin Newsom has thanked President Biden for the quick response to help California tackle these wildfires. Over 1,400 firefighters are still on the ground, working hard to contain the flames.
This disaster follows another recent fire that forced Malibu residents to evacuate, showing just how serious the wildfire situation is in California right now.
